Bite of Dutch - Broodje Vlaams
How will it work?
We will host these online sessions over your lunch break with a language teacher that specializes in spoken Flemish. This is a great opportunity to get some extra insight on top of your regular language classes. The most reoccurring comment from the first edition was that these lunch session covered new and interesting topics that you wouldn't learn in the classroom! Please note that we will focus on informal spoken Flemish, and will not often practice formal writing or speaking.
You will have the chance, upon registration, to make note of any specific topics you would like to cover (for example giving a presentation, pleasantries etc.)
We will not have a wait list for this edition and the sessions will welcome participants from all levels (A2 and higher).
